Dominica, a small island developing state is on its way to potentially abolishing the use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil to generate electricity as they are now making huge strides with geothermal energy, 100 percent clean and 100 percent renewable. This is according to a UN report, and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International business trade and Energy, Vince Henderson, speaking to a UN representative says this could exponentially transform Dominica.
Henderson informs that the island has been working on the geothermal energy project since 1969 with help from the UN and now international countries and organizations.
Additionally, the Head of the Dominica Geothermal Development Coperation, Fred John, featured in the report expressed that given the progress made, it could take less than 2 years to implement the geothermal energy throughout Dominica.
